sTovE-PIPE HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 413,850, dated October 29, 1889.

v l Application led June 6, 1889. Serial No. 313,353. (No model.)

- Hangers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact desription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stove-pipe hangers; and it has for its object to simplify, cheapen, and render more durable and efficient in operation this class of devices.

To these ends, and to such others as the invention may pertain, the same consists in the peculiar combinations, and in the novel construction, arrangement, and adaptation of vparts,all as more fully hereinafter described,

shown in the drawings, and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specication,like letters of reference indicating like parts throughout the several views, and in which drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stove-pipe hanger constructed in accordance with my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective dej tails upon an enlarged scale of the pipe-supporting band and link for securing the same to the hanger. Fig. 4. is a side elevation of aportionof the hanger, showing the set-screw.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the body of the hanger, which consists of the two parallel wires A A', which wires are secured at one of their ends tothe lower face of the me tallic disk B, said disk being provided upon its opposite or upper face with a screw B', for use in securing the device to the wall orceilinv. The opposite ends of the parallel wires A are secured to a metallic block C, as shown.

D is a wire, the body of which is passed through a central vertical opening in the block C, and is adapted to be moved freely within said opening. The upper end of the said wire D is bent to form the double loops D2,which loops are adapted to loosely embrace the parallel wires A upon either side. The lower end of the wire is bent to form a hook D3, and D4 is a similar hook attached to the wire D directly above andv a shortdistance from the hook D3, as shown.

E is a wire, bent at its longitudinal center to form the elongated loop E2, and the free ends of this wire are bent outwardly at right angles to the direction of the loop to form the parallel horizontal arms E3.

F is a strip of sheet metal, which is adapted to be passed around the pipe G, said strip being provided at its ends with suitable loops F', as shown.

In operation the device is secured to the wall yor ceiling of the apartment by means of the screw upon the upper face of the disk B. The band F isthen passed around the pipe to be suspended, and the loops F are passed over the free ends of the horizontal arms E3. The wire Eis then placed in position upon the wire D, with the hook D3 engaging the angle in said wire directly below the loop E2, while the hook D4 engages the upper end of the said loop. It will be seen that by this arrangement the parts are se# curely held in place and an oscillating or swinging movement of thepipe is prevented. The parts having thus been placed in position, the distance of the pipe from the ceiling may be easily regulated by loosening the setscrew H, so as to permit the wire D to be moved through the block C and by moving the same the desired distance up .or down. By tightening the set-screw the wire will be held in its adjusted position.

WhatI claim to be new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isfd 1. In a device for the purpose described, the combination, with the disk and the par allel wires secured thereto and having a block secured at their lower ends, of the wire 1 D, passed loosely through a vertical opening 'in saidblock and made adjustable therein, 1

allel wires, and the block secured tothe lower ends of the wires, of the wire D, vertically adjustable within said block, said wire D being provided at its upper end with loops loosely embracing the parallel wires, and at its lower end with hooks D3 and D4, substantially as and for the purpose described.

3. The pipe -hanging device herein described, the same comprising, in combination, a disk provided upon its upper face with a screw, the parallel wires secured at one end to the lower face of the disk and having a block secured to their opposite ends, the wire CHARLES WESLEY EUNSON.
